Topic: Trading vs HODLing - page 2. (Read 528 times)
As bounty hunter, I still Hodl the token I earn as reward from bounty, I just hope that project going well and the altcoin or token will gain some profit for me, if not I just leave the altcoin or token alone in the wallet, I just dont care
I haven't tried trading, but pretty sure I would suck at it.
Regarding holding, I had very nice gains in some alts but kept holding and they eventually turned to 0 (in 2k17). But yeah, holding does reward you well if you are holding good coins (sometimes this good coins turn out to be shit too, so luck counts).

I am long term trader and also a hodler. I have separate funds for each. I do trades that are typically 2 to 4 days apart, depending on the trend and levels. For now, I am earning more in trading (obviously) but a huge chunk of my funds are for hodling
Once in the bull run hodling becomes very profitable but that's not the case in bear run. During the bears trading is more profitable than hodling.
I don't have an idea what's this wolfpackbot that OP is mentioning. AFAIK when you hold, you don't have anything to use like the bot that he has said. You just leave your coins on your wallet and let it grow on its own depending on the market's side. There's no need for me to use any kind of bot even the ones that's being used for trading. Can't be sure of this if OP is part of the marketing group of this software or he just came by with that and wanted to share it to the community. As for me, holding would be definitely good without use of any bot/software.
Wolfpackbot?
i do not know what Wolfpackbot is, can you explain to me what it functions?
because i didn't know the Wolfpackbot so I didn't use it.
i am a trader and holder, lately i have also gained some benefits because the market is now moving upwards.

Right now, HODLing is making me some pretty good gains. Before I HODL'ed, I was using Wolfpackbot tho. Some days I was gaining .5% and others I was gaining closer to 2%. It depends on how the market is going tho. Sideways markets seem to work well with the bot vs bull markets and investing/hodling. What would you guys suggest? What are you guys using to trade? Do any of you use bots like the Wolfpackbot?
I would rather HODL, but I have read some good experiences with bots in this forum. Back in the day Gunbot was popular, but I'm not sure how it has performed lately. Another thing to take into consideration is the higher taxes from short-term trades with bots.
Nowadays due to very long bearish market situation I can feel that day trading is much more profitable compared to doing long term HODLING regardless if you hit the right time selling. But hitting the right scalping also in day trading is much more better.

I don't use any bots to trade I do it manual .And I also like to trade rather than to hold specially if we could get more profit from it.
Why not do a quick trade and get a 2-5% and repeat it I know it would be hard but at least you would learn from your experience.
there are only two ways of looking at your situation.
if you check the BTC value of what you are holding. in which case you are already in a very big loss since all the altcoins have been getting dumped fast and hard against bitcoin so your bags are not worth a lot less than they were last week.
if you check the USD value of what you are holding in which case there has been a rise but nowhere near what bitcoin rise has been. which raises the question of why would you bother holding altcoins that will make you miss out on the real rise while other traders are already dumping altcoins?

Trading is actually good but it involves huge risk if someone I not well experienced in it. Holding on the other hand is not too good because there are some coins that doesn't worth holding for long term at all. Base on my above judgement, I still prefer to hold for long term but it must be a coin with huge potential such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin cash and Litecoin.

I do trade manually and never tried to use a bot but right now i stopped trading because the market is getting better and holding is a great choice. Don’t compare these two, they have both pros and cons but the good thing is that you can do both any time you want. Trading and holding are both profitable in cryptomarket, great timing is a must.

Good thing for you that you were able to hold those good coins, and as we see on the market, everything is gaining its value and everyday its getting higher in its value, its good to see that the market is really recovering since last year. I hope its gonna be normalize just like this days.
I will go in for holding at the moment than that of trading because BTC and the other alts have been extremely bought so anything can happen if you trade these coins. The volatility has also increased so trading is very dangerous to me. I am aware experienced traders are happy when the market is this way but the fact is that they are waiting for some of us to go in and get rekt 
Hodling is good if the market turns to green or increases prices continuosly, but i think trading is much better since not all of the time the market would be friendly that what we hodl makes an increasing price. Trading is making profit at anytime or any situation of market.
For me doing daily trading is my current job, because if I hold Bitcoin for the long term, then I find it difficult to get daily income, because I am very serious about working at Crypto as a daily trader.
In any case, if you have skills about trading, it is the best way. BTC has been starting to increase since recent months, but until then prices moved down. How profitable was it then? But, the trade allows you to gain without depending on the market situation.

Both? you can't determine the market works very well with bot because the bot will be very useful when the market gets stable. Bot can't even follow the direction of the market when it gets a huge increase or decrease. I prefer to do both whatever people said about that but that increase the possibility to earn max profit from the market. I used hodling as the alternative plans but just accumulate more coins anytime depends on how much fund that i can use to buy hodl coins.
If the bull market have really started (I hope this rise is not a bull trap), hodling is the best strategy. Hopefully this continues.
Hodling is a little less stress than trading so I too have been hodling and stop trading for a while because the last months is not good for me trading wise. Need to rest my mind from stress and just hold my BTC, just glad that the price surge these days. 
I trade but don't use that method. Holding a coin for a long time, in my opinion, is very good and it is evident that some of my coins are currently experiencing price increases. But the advantage now is to trade. Bitcoin and all Altcoin are now growing very well and trading is very profitable.
Trading gives you a lot of money if you know how to trade. But 90% of exchange users do not know how. Holding is also a profitable business, but only in the long term, as the cryptocurrency is very volatile. If you do not want to risk and lose a lot, then choose a holding company.
